Hey for a first try with this approach (laser removal of powder coat follow by laser etching in black) it could have gone much worse I think…

Cheers! I will progress on the schematic etc and will dig more and hit you up once I am closer to PCB tracing (y)

I hope it's fine that I ask a non-Wah inductor question here. I am planning on an amp build with an inductor based Depth setting. I'd need 500mH about, 2 pins, that's about all the info I got. My instinct was to look at some Wah inductors but the readily available dunlops are pretty bulky and 4...

That looks good and fairly compact really. A good candidate for a PCB too if size is a concern. I am done getting the rough schematic in Fusion for the VH4, I am putting values and part numbers on everything now. Then I will decide what I take out and what stays in for a small footprint. So...

Mueller Rondo. Then again, I am in Germany so that makes sense to me. I'd love to help you with this if you are abroad but unless you are EU, I am not sure it would make sense... I think I was quoted 100€ for a 141VA, with copper shielding.

If/when I get around to build this, it will have a custom toroidal for the PT. My latest amp has one, and it is surprisingly cheap, even with quite a few secondaries. Since I plan on using DC for heaters and Omron relays, it makes sense for me.

Yeah I was being overly dramatic. With what I am looking at (@Hal Harvey I hate you :ROFLMAO: ) I should be mostly fine with 630V for the B line and around the PI. For the cathode I will likely stay at 50-63-100V, but I prefer film there because I am allergic to polarity. I will use some known...

Damn guys. 630V WIMA Radial 1µ are 3cm long. Gonna be fun building with lunchbox amp with those ;)

Good idea! Famous last words. Especially in a VH4 configuration ;) How do you guys decide on the voltage of your capacitors by the way? I have a vague idea for the ones around B+, but around the preamp tunes for example and the declouping ones, I have no idea. I could 630V everything and call...

DO EET And post about it please.

Yay, more amp threads ;) Came onto amp building after building a couple of pedals, which came after building guitars. Now I alternate between what I feel like building. First project was a Rosamp SLO30 kit that I can really recommend. Not difficult, and a good training to work on something...

If someone tells him “chips” include Doritos he might change his mind.

I don't have experience with the pedals (I tend to dislike pedals that emulate amps) but I think your issue with the price and space would be nicely addressed by a rosamp SLO30 clone. Still 1k for sure, but a smaller footprint. I have one and I love it, even though I cannot attest to how close...

Great, enjoy and let us know how you like those (y)

Totally agree. If I were to sell what I build, I would commission someone that I like the work of for a series of illustrations for a myriad of reasons. For a one off that will never leave my pedal board, I'll keep doing what I prefer and that is using the tools I have at my disposal that allow...

Definitely. I can agree with you on that. I just find it practical to cover an aspect of pedal building I suck at and can't see myself investing time in, and this particular model (with proper prompts) spits out graphics very, very close to the type of pedal graphics I actually like. And for my...

Prompt: Amateur, crudely drawn line art troll. Hey i needed something for an upcoming pedal, thanks 🤣

I use Chris Alop crowning file with the Oak handle and it is great. Diamond, not too coarse so easy to get the marks out with paper afterwards, and a comfortable grip. Can really recommend for that price too...

A bit shameful, I know, but I have been doing most of my pedal "art" using either decals or laser engraving. To generate the art, I have been using AI tools - actually only one that is free and generates very "pedal friendly art", https://designer.microsoft.com/ . You can chose a vertical...
